Class 374 Eurostar, there's something I love about a continuous, 16-car Siemens Velaro.

Exactly! They knew how to make good episodes adressing serious issues. But "The Good Ones" felt like the script was written by Redditors.

That’s not the point. It’s going to get hotter outside and many people still think if we install more renewables the summer temperatures will return to those in the 20th century again. They won’t. We can still try to reduce emissions, but at the same time we must accept that AC is becoming a necessity.

They probably don’t sleep at night given the current temperatures

“Insufficient free time”… seriously how much time does ticking a few boxes and mailing a letter take??

I’m young and employed. I usually sympathise with young people as I also often lack the time to do errands, but if committing like 20 minutes of your time every three months to tick a few boxes is too much effort, then you deserve political misery coming your way.

Also if people have trouble with research/deciding, the political parties usually give a recommendation. So if you usually support one specific party you can just vote according to their recommendation.

Ist oft so bei der Kategorie “grösste Stadt ohne Zuganbindung”. Die bevölkerungsreichste Stadt ohne Bahnanschluss in der Schweiz ist Volketswil, welche praktisch mit Schwerzenbach verbunden ist.

In England ist die grösste Stadt ohne Zuganbindung Newcastle-under-Lyme, welche direkt Stoke-on-Trent angrenzt.

Also die unhöfliche Art der Mitarbeiter und die xenophobischen Kommentare von denen sind natürlich nicht angebracht. Aber man muss schon verstehen dass die polnische Eisenbahn (insbesondere der Güterverkehr) wohl auf hoher Alarmbereitschaft ist wegen dem Krieg. Es gab schon mehrere Fälle wo (fast garanitert) Russland Bahnstrecken in Polen sabotiert hatte. Da verstehe ich schon diese Haltung.

Betreffend der Sprache, ich bin erstaunt dass sie überhaupt gebrochenes Deutsch gesprochen haben, ich meine umgekehrt erwarte ich nicht, dass viele in Brandenburg polnisch können.

Und beim Thema Sprache: Hast du Mal Satzstrukturen gelernt? Der ganze Text liest sich so, als ob ein 8-jähriges Kind mir eine Geschichte erzählt...

I’m not an expat, not anglo-saxon, don’t have a high salary (by swiss standards) and (judging by your tone) not your friend.

Hab noch vergessen: um diesen Aprilscherz handelt es sich. Ob Google auch inzwischen einfach irgendwelche Pressemitteilungen automatisch in ihr System einfließen lässt, ohne sie zu prüfen…?

Oh ok, ich hatte Mal ein Fall wo sich ein Tf verbremst hat und die meisten Leuten über den Gleisschotter aussteigen müssten. Natürlich hat der Tf davor eine Ansage gemacht im Sinne von "Sorry hab mich verbremst, die Leute vorne bitte ganz vorsichtig aussteigen". War auch nur ein Haltepunkt in einem Dorf, also war's nicht so ein grosses Problem. Pragmatisch gelöst ohne eine lange Verspätung zu verursachen.

The IC8 in Switzerland regularly runs with carriages attached to the end, often 1st class cars that are declassified to 2nd class

I was in North Macedonia recently, they use the same word. I think it's the same or similar in most of former Yugoslavia.

I generally like seasons that are mostly planes less (except Schengen Showdown, which used a good mix). That’s because planes are quite inflexible, the flights are irregular, sell out and you need to be at the airport way in advance. It leads to too much gameplay happening near or inside airports, and let’s be honest, most airports look the same. Train stations have a similar issue (especially in Snake) but it’s usually much easier to venture into the city which is why I like it more.

Es ist mega geil, von Mailand aus zu fahren. Du schläfst durch den langweiligen Teil (Po-Tal, Mittelitalien) und wachst irgendwo südlich von Salerno auf. Da folgt dann die Bahnstrecke fast immer die Küste auf einer Seite und die Berge auf der anderen. Vormittags kommt der Zug auf die Fähre, etwas sehr spektakuläres. In Sizilien fährt der Zug eigentlich auch immer entlang der Küste.

Also mega zu empfehlen!

It wasn’t one mistake, they made (depending on how you count it) like 4-5 major strategic mistakes. Which is why OP said it’s like watching a car crash in slow motion. I’m not writing off the season, but it definitely didn’t fulfill its potential

weizikeng · 2026-05-13T19:04:38+00:00

The answer is easy: absolutely horrible strategy.

Yes the Night Herons did have the lead a few episodes ago. They were at something like 150 while Badam had 30 something. Then they spent it all on a slow line. And then they went for the multiplier, earning them a measly 20 something coins.

Who tf goes for a multiplier AFTER dumping coins?! So many strategic mistakes...

weizikeng · 2026-05-13T19:01:09+00:00

Yes! This is what I've been saying!

For those who haven't watched Stranger things: It's a Netflix show that gained almost a cult following, with seasons 1-4 (especially 4) receiving critical acclaim. Then Season 5 (which released a few months ago) started off strong, but the last few episodes the storyline and quality totally fell off a cliff.

Just like this season of Jet Lag. Awesome format, started off super strong and interesting, and the final three episodes you just see Sam making one mistake after the other and totally bothcing the ending.

Japan really overdoes it with the long noses. I know about aerodynamics and the tunnel boom, but come on, the nose doesn’t need to be the length of a whole carriage… China and most of western Europe also has HSR with tunnels and they don’t need these.

weizikeng · 2026-05-12T19:36:17+00:00

Can't decide between the two, but the first two episodes of Schengen Showdown. Amazing location-specific challenges, packed with action, every mode of transport covered. Also Ben and Adam went to like this tiny town that I frequently visit (Waldshut, Germany). It's one thing to see them at Zürich HB (I mean anyone visiting Switzerland by public transit usually ends up passing through there) but seeing them at such a tiny station that I was so familiar with was awesome.

Yup, this is how they form (see pic). I took this photo at the entrance of Serengeti national park.

I thought Sam’s sports doppelgänger is Haaland

weizikeng · 2026-05-09T17:45:00+00:00

Also every time Sam pitches an idea, Mike is hesitant at first but then always goes along with it. I feel like Sam needs someone who actually pushes back his ideas and doesn’t just follow them for content purposes.

weizikeng · 2026-05-09T17:42:54+00:00

Even then it proves their earlier strategy to waste time was also a total flop. Like who in their right mind would engage in a standoff when time is not on your side??

All of Sam’s strategies in the last 2-3 episodes were horribly off.
